COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONNeolithic humans evolved from nomadic hunters into a more settled agricultural society, changing life forever. The Ďfounderí crops they raised included wheat and barley. It is little surprise that the first examples of brewing appeared during this age.
Brewers owe much to the epoch. Similarly, we thank our farmer friends of today for cultivating the ingredients the are responsible for the beers we now enjoy. Their laborious days spent ourdoors under the hot sun earn them respect, as well as a mark of distinction: the farmerís tan. Yes, the inevitable red and white hallmark of hard work.

Crystal light amber in color producing a fluffy white cloud above that stays for a while. Aromas of pine/citrus/herbal hops that reminds of grapefruit, with some candy coated caramel behind. Flavors of sweet grain, dry citrus hops, sweet caramel backbone, slight hay. Sweet, slightly dry, almost crisp, malty feel yet hops come though overall. The more I sip the more I start to enjoy this. I feel like I should be on a farm when drinking this not just because of the name but because its just got that barnyard flavor(?). Kind of like a stronger version of the phin and matts. 3/10

On tap at Alchemy, back log from June 2014, pours a clear copper amber with a thin white head, the aroma is zesty with some lemon and pine with a touch of hops too, the flavor has a hoppy and lemon lime flavor all at the same time, the alcohol is very well hidden, nice.

The body has a clear and bright but deep golden color with an average two finger head on top from an aggressive pour. The head soap white head settles quickly and sets up a small ring of foam that does manage some lacing on the glass as I drink. It has a decent white bready/biscuity maltiness with an odd, sort of boozy, sweetness. From this sweetness I get some notes of red apple skin. Backing up all of this maltiness are equal parts of citrusy and earthy hops. It starts with a layer of pale malty, bready, biscuity flavor with sort of viney and citrusy hops for balance. Sweeter boozy notes move into the middle and add some warmth. Dryer pale, almost wheat like, maltiness rounds out the finish along with some lingering earthy and light citrus hop bitterness. The palate is smooth and lightly carbonated which along with the noticeable abv takes away from its drinkability as a summer time seasonal.
